Thomas Gilbert, Jr. Thought SNL Cast Was "Mocking" Him

Thomas Gilbert, Jr., who allegedly shot his hedge fund founder dad to death earlier this year over an argument about his allowance, had paranoid delusions, according to medical records revealed in a preliminary court hearing yesterday.

Gilbert told a doctor in 2012 that he believed the cast of Saturday Night Live was mocking him and he thought about hiring an entertainment lawyer to put a stop to it, the New York Post reports.

The 31-year-old Princeton graduate also told the doc that he believed enemies had hacked into his phone and computer.

"They're trying to get my information and stop my chances of starting a hedge fund," Gilbert said to the doctor, according to medical records.

In 2013, he said "police from Princeton were pushing me toward China."

Gilbert has seen more than a dozen doctors over the past decade and has been diagnosed him with psychiatric issues including schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder, the Manhattan Supreme Court hearing, which a judge ordered to determine whether Gilbert is fit for trial mentally, revealed.

Previously, two court-appointed psychiatrists found him too mentally ill for trial, but a forensic psychologist hired by the Manhattan district attorney last week declared he was fit to stand trial.
